Facebook is now...Meta

Maybe they just filmed some sweeping shots of Mark on a green screen, CGIed a pretty back drop, then deep faked him actually talking.

lol It was her voice that I noticed as being dubbed. I think his was too but his probably had more attention paid to the timing so it's not as obvious as hers. It's her hand movements that have been choregraphed to match what she says exactly. He came across as fake, too, but the woman just screamed it.

The whole thing is so fake I couldn't help but laugh at it.

'Meta' Trademark Applicants Will Sell to Facebook For $20M

Trademark or not, Meta PC has already reaped some of Facebook's announcement benefits -- they've seen a 5,000% increase in followers across their social media channels ... not too bad.

However, a source close to discussions tells TMZ ... Meta (Facebook) believes they have the rights necessary to adopt the "Meta" trademark for their goods and services.

Soon there will be the Meta-net, and then everything that is not on the Meta-net.

I'm curious why "Meta (Facebook) believes they have the rights necessary to adopt the "Meta" trademark for their goods and services.".
Because he's MARK ZUCKERBERG and how dare they stand in his way?

Just more garbage (ads) for me to ignore. Some of us are on to the bullshit people like him try to pull on the rest of us. That bag of beans got spilled decades ago.

They use Roblox as an example? No ones even batting an eye at second life? i think its far closer example of what will happen.. zuck and his team should spend a year in SL... then they will have an idea.

Facebook's metaverse plans labelled as 'dystopian' and 'a bad idea'

Roger McNamee, an early Facebook investor, says it "should not be allowed" to build the metaverse.

www.bbc.com

But Roger McNamee told the BBC: "It's a bad idea and the fact we are all sitting and looking at this like it's normal should be alarming everyone."
Meta's chief product officer Chris Cox told attendees at the Web Summit in Lisbon that the idea would make "the internet less flat".
He said it would be considerably better than video conferencing as a space for meetings.

"You can have meetings in the Metaverse. And... meetings. And also meetings. And it's GREAT for meetings!"

I almost have to wonder how much we should blame the videographer for these weird Zuccerberg videos. I mean, Zucc is a very difficult subject to shoot, but putting him in the stock photo dimension, and dubbing him like this is not the right answer to the problems. I bet a better videographer could make it less weird. As it is, it's like a bizarre clip from Twin Peaks.

I think they're scared of porn, so they want a G rated metaverse, which seems to work ok for Roblox and Minecraft, but you know... kids are not a huge demographic, and they don't have much disposable income. Even if Meta is successful, I don't think they can possibly have more impact than Roblox. SL has problems, but at least the range of experiences is big enough that it could, hypothetically, grow to mass adoption, if they worked out the problems.

Catch them early, suck 'em dry as they grow older (or convince their parents/guardians to buy shit for them). Zuck is in for the long term.
